A smooth non-criminal.

Actually a non-smooth graduate student is much more accurate. My day in a slightly-wordy nutshell:

1. I was late to class. Not exorbitantly late, but late enough (again) to blush as I had to walk in during a lecture and cut in front of the professor to take my seat. I can’t help it...I have such a hard time falling asleep and the only time I seem to feel rested is in the morning when I need to get up to be somewhere. Lately, the joy that comes from relishing in that feeling outweighs the embarrassment of being tardy.

2. Apparently I forgot to turn my phone to silent, and mid-lecture the entire class was treated to a purse-muffled Depeche Mode as I embarrassingly tried to silence my phone. I rarely get calls during the day to begin with, and even if I do get a call, the signal almost never makes it through to the basement at Dominican. Strike 2 for me and it wasn’t even lunchtime yet =(

3. My 7-Up randomly exploded on me in the computer lab. I know there are signs everywhere that say “No food or drink in the computer lab.” I just assume these are intended for, well, people other than me as I tend to be fairly neat and loathe sticky things. At some point I must have angered the soda gods because all I remember is taking my 7-Up out of my bag (which had been sitting on the floor for well over 3 hours by this point), opening it up, and suddenly having a geyser on my lap. I did manage to successfully aim it at myself and therefore none got on the computer – but that did mean that I ended up with a half of a bottle of pop on me. *sigh*

4. I left my jump drive in the computer at school and didn’t even notice that I had forgotten it. Thankfully a fellow student, who was more aware of his surroundings than I, noticed it after I had left and grabbed it for me.

I guess it's just one of those days where though nothing major goes wrong, there are are ton of little things that leave you shaking your head out of morbid amusement as you wonder "What next?". Is this just a 'today' thing due the the unseasonably chilly, drearyness...or was it just me?
